The Higher Education in the 21st Century Symposium: Epilogue
Note: This post is part of our League Symposium on Higher Education in the 21st Century. You can read the introductory post for the Symposium here. To see a list of all posts in the Symposium so far, click here.
Today marks the official end of the League Symposium on Higher Education. I’d like to extend a big thank everyone who helped make this effort a success.
First, I’d like to commend the folks–both regulars and guest writers–who shared their work with us. The pieces were well-written, wide-ranging, and thought-provoking, providing plenty of ideas for discussion.
Thanks as well to everyone who commented. Lively and polite conversation not only enlivens this blog, but also helps draw out the nuances of the original pieces and refine our thinking about ideas.
And thanks finally to our readers. If you’re a regular, we appreciate your continued support. If you just dropped by for the symposium, we hope you found something you liked and will stick around and join the party.
I am attempting to polish something, so we might get a post-script.
I wish I could have participated more, this one was excellent. Special thanks to Michelle for hosting and her excellent pieces and to Burt for his long series.Report
I’m certainly hoping for a postscript or two.Report
This was IMO the most successful of our symposia to date. Thanks to Michelle for running it and to everyone who wrote!Report
I agree.Report
While I was able to read most of the posts, I am currently in waning weeks of the term and my schedule has been consumed enough with things academic. I do want to say as someone who has spent the majority of the last two decades in academia, I truly enjoyed and appreciated this symposium and hope to see more on education in the future – just not in the beginning or end of the term. Thank you!Report
Great symposium. Thanks for all your hard work in coordinating it!
Minor request: the link to the list of posts actually goes to the intro post… fix?Report
I liked the video from the Humboldt State drop out – shared it with a group at work including a Humboldt State dropout (he later returned to school & eventually earned his Master’s at CSUN).Report
🙂 Thank you for sharing – that made my night.Report
